The story follows Harry Potter, an orphaned boy living unhappily with his aunt, uncle, and cousin, whose life changes forever when he receives a letter inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Hogwarts, Harry discovers his magical heritage, makes his first true friends in Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and learns about the wizarding world—from flying broomsticks to enchanted sweets.
